Linus Tech Tips (LTT): Server Racks Cost Too Much - Buy or DIY?

TL;DR

Linus and the LTT crew tackle the age-old question: buy expensive server racks or hack together a DIY solution? Using affordable IKEA LACK tables and Reliable Hardware 8U rails, they walk through their build plan, put it to the Linus “torture” test and see if a homegrown rack can stand up to real-world gear.

Along the way you’ll spot plenty of sponsor plugs—Micro Center’s monthly deals and UGREEN’s NAS gear—and get links to parts, their forum discussion and a full chapter breakdown for easy jumping. Perfect for anyone who’d rather spend cash on new hardware than on overpriced racks.
